How Do I use my Apple Pay account at a store for purchase?

How do I use Google Pay at a store for purchases?

What is a digital account number and why should I care?

Your payment card information such as the 16 digit account number found on the front of your card, will be replaced with a digital account number that can be securely stored on devices and used to make purchases. Your credit and debit card numbers are NOT stored on the device, or on service provider servers. This helps reduce the potential for fraud.

How will this keep my information more secure?

By using a digital account number, you no longer need to share your personal account information when you shop, which reduces the threat of your sensitive data being stored or compromised. Only the digital account number is passed on in your payment details and is never actually shared with the merchant.

What if my device is lost or stolen?

If your device is lost or stolen, call you local device provider. You may also call Partners 1st to suspend your digital account number.

Where can I use my digital account number in store or online?

At any merchant where contactless payments are accepted, as well as participating mobile applications on your device.
